Tylův domek v Třeboni, Cultural monument in Třeboň, Czech Republic
Tylův domek is a small two-storey house from the mid-18th century, built outside the town walls by the Golden Canal and enclosed with its garden by a boundary wall. The classicist facade has two rectangular windows and a medallion of J. K. Tyl framed by a stylised garland wreath interwoven with a tricolour. It stands in the pedestrian-only Tylova ulička.
The garden house was built in the second half of the 18th century behind the town walls by the Golden Canal. In January to March 1856, Josef Kajetán Tyl lived there rent-free with his family, invited by Vojtěch Zítek, a district court clerk and amateur actor. A museum opened in 1936 for the 80th anniversary of Tyl's death but closed during the occupation and was not renewed after the war.
The facade medallion of Josef Kajetán Tyl is framed by a stylized garland wreath interwoven with a tricolor ribbon in the national colours. Tyl lived here with his family from January to March 1856, in two rooms of the garden house.
Tylova Street is a pedestrian-only lane on the right bank of the Golden Canal, outside the town walls and not part of the town ring road. The house and its walled garden stand at the edge of the historic centre, a short walk from Hradecká Gate. Only the lower of the two rooms could be heated.
Beside the house stands a single-seed hawthorn (Crataegus monogyna) dated by the Botanical Institute of the Czech Academy of Sciences in Třeboň at more than 200 years old. It is a tree, not a bush, and its age makes it one of the oldest woody plants recorded in this part of town.
